This router was easy to set-up and extremely fast. It replaced an older model that wasn’t fully keeping up with the latest speeds available with fiber. The only critique is the unit is a bit tall, we previously had a “flatter” router with antennas on our entertainment stand, but had to put this on the floor next to the stand as it looked way out of place. Check the dimensions to make sure it fits what you have room for. Otherwise, awesome router that packs a big punch!

I procrastinated for years to get a stand alone modem and a stand alone router. I always went for convenience of the modem/router combo. Well the difference is a huge upgrade. The new router is very reliable, the range is more than enough and the speeds are amazing. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

This new router's awesome! My old Asus was dropping signal constantly, making working from home a pain. Traded it in at Best Buy using my warranty – so glad I did! It's super fast and reliable, exactly what I needed.

Easy setup and works well with Xfinity. The best thing was giving the gateway back to Xfinity and the dark cloud is gone. Should have done it years ago.

Great router for gaming needed an upgrade from my old router. This one has a lot of features and functionality from the app. However there is a pay wall for quite a few features and this could be a negative to quite a few im sure. I personally use their service which comes with vpn and full feature functionality with internet security. But it will do what its supposed to without the subscription features and works extremely well if you have fast internet.

I would have given it 5 stars but for the set up and a few other blips.
The set up with the nighthawk app is not good.
Maybe they have fixed it?
But probably just do a manual set up.
If you are willing to set up a network you know enough to make this chore simple.
Problem is that on the initial set up the username and password Fields are greyed out.
If you click on the username field it stays greyed out.
If you click on the password word field to the direct right of the username field it will let you change the password word but it is unintuitive to click the password field after seeing the username field is unaccessible due to being greyed out...
After the password is set the rest is super simple if you have ever set up a router before and still super simple and easy to figure out if have are new to the experience.
Nighthawk app is spam and just a annoying life lock like business strategy as far as I can see.
Also for the duration of the free trial of Netgear armour I had an issue with losing internet for like 30 seconds during a point in the nine o'clock hours.
Both am and pm.
It was odd.
I suspect it was Netgear armor connecting to a server and sharing it's findings...
After the trial expired the internet loss seemed to go away.
But I did change a minor setting in the router around that time as well so it could have been that?
Probably the the netgear armour thing though...
Good router though.
Handles streaming games to twitch at 1080p just fine.
Also handles multiple high resolution devices all at the same time just fine.
I would recommend.
Just don't use Netgear armour and don't use nighthawk app.
I give them negative 5 stars...
The hardware is solid so far.

Best router I have ever owned. Been a longtime Netgear fan but the router takes the cake. The range is amazing for the price and the wifi speeds it offers are absolutely incredible, making me feel like there is no waste/loss coming from my ISP. Big recommend from me. Setup was insanely easy using the app and only took about 20 minutes total. Thankfully we put a password on the internet access because my neighbors can see my wifi channel too lol.

It's worked well for the most part, but the WiFi occasionally cuts off for a few minutes for no known reason. It also never gives me the full amount of speed I should be getting, but it is much faster than my previous router.

My router and modem went out. We needed a dual band router with a greater distance. Easy to set up. I am very pleased with the purchase and would recommend this item to others.

The dual-band feature allows faster speeds than before, and this router allows greater coverage area in my home. The downside is that my printer was not dual-band compatible, which required buying a new one

This was purchased as a replacement for another Wi-Fi that didn’t last 2 years. My first Netgear lasted almost 10 years,wasn’t available when I purchased my last Wi-Fi, but once that quit, we decided to go back to Netgear. Their on line people will also patiently help you too, it you have trouble setting up. We didn’t have a problem.
